A metrobus crash during rush hour yesterday injured 11 people in Istanbul. The cause of the crash was an apparent angry passenger who hit the bus driver with an umbrella while the unruly passenger was detained by police following the accident and then arrested on Saturday.

The vehicle, a dedicated-lane bus and a popular choice of mass transit among commuters, was heading to Kadıköy district on Istanbul's Asian side when it crashed into steel barriers after its driver lost control of the vehicle and moved to the lane designated for other vehicles. It ran into a double-decker bus on the opposite lane first before crushing three cars it climbed atop after slamming into the bus.
